    I'll answer because it sounds like you are close to my starting weight and bust size. I've also always been busty. I started at 174, wearing 36DD but only because I was in denial about having put on weight... the bras weren't at all fitting me! Currently I'm a 34DD. So I've lost weight proportionally between my bust and underbust. It actually kind of pisses me off because people give some variation of "what happened to your boobs!?!" They're manageable and much smaller, but not by any means small!

    I'll take boob donations if you are complaining! When I lost all my weight a few years back I went from a C to an A. A is soooo terrible! I'm at a B now, but am losing and know I'll sadly be wearing As again, like as if I was 12 :(

    My boobs are always the first to go, and the first to gain. In 3 weeks I lost 1 1/2 inches from my bust. Currently I'm a 36DD and when I was about 40 lbs lighter I was a 36D. Hoping when I get to my goal weight (about 60lbs from now) I'll be a C. We shall see.

    I have to weigh in here...(no pun intended) sometimes depending on the structure of our bodies and the lift we get when we start to lose, the opposite happens...

    i was a 42D at my heaviest, measured in a lingerie store, i was a 38D this february...again measured professionally....

    and this summer I had the pleasure of discovering with the loss in my rib cage I am now a 36DD.....

    so sometimes depending on distribution and body design, you actually go UP.

    I have the same issue with finding good, supportive sports bras (I'm big busted too). I recently bought one from Panache, I think that's how you spell the brand name. It has a feature to make it a racer back style, which I've always hated, but if I'm doing an intense workout, it really adds extra support.

    Here's a link to the bra I'm talking about. Pricey, but worth every penny.

    this is what's happening to me. breast volume hasnt changed but since my band ize has gone down my cup ize has gone up.

    i started off at 224 at 36/38 G/H and I'm now 34I

    for high impact bras i like enell and shock absorber. for low impact goddess, elomi or good

    Speaking from experience, I am also a top heavy woman. I always have been regardless of how much I have weighed. I am also a runner and its not easy. There is a running bra designed for bigger breasted women that was featured on The Doctors. This is a link to that website. http://www.natori.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ISC_Category=NatoriBra_Sport&ISC_ParentCategory=Bras&ISC_SubCategory=BrasSport

    I recently went and got a reduction and let me tell you…..BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!!!!!!!!! Seriously love having a smaller chest. I can buy bra’s that are on sale! I can run with moderate support. I can wear tops that would have been a “no-no” before!! If you need more info on the experience, private message me and I would love to share. I have 3 kids and made the decision after I had my last one. Best of luck!

    ^this. i lost 20ish pounds and saw no difference- got a reduction! apparently, due to some standards the surgeons set when they approved me for surgery, though, my weight loss made just enough of a difference that they didnt know if insurance would cover it unless they made me a B cup, but they shot for a C cup anyway and insurance still approved it! best decision of my life as well and i was 18 when i got it. NOOOOOO regrets.

    42DDD when I started, currently 38 band size, but my CUP size went up as a result. I have lost very little up top, currently they just look a little deflated :-( Thankfully, I still look okay in a good bra.

    Personally, my favorites are the caccique bras from Lane Bryant. I love the thicker, formed cups so there's no "nipping" out.

    For workouts, I love the enell bra. Expensive, but it offers a lot of back support and I can do high intensity workouts without pain with jumping or jogging.
